Getting Better??

[irishblessings]

Thanks PEI and Snodderly - I really appreciate your perspectives

I can't believe this is my 2nd holiday in this "new" life. Still getting my sea legs but am in more of a stronger cognitive place than this time last year.

Almost ran straight into OW yesterday - have worried about this happening. What would I say? Inauthentic to say "nice to meet you". Instead I have "scripted" this:

Look, I have nothing against you. I would hope however that you could understand that after 25 years as a cohesive family, you might be able to take a step back publicly and let my son finish his high school years without having to feel uncomfortable with the presence of a "new" person in his parents life. Please feel free to do what you want outside of this arena - but for my son's sake please take a step back from this part of his life.

Knowing the level of class present in this woman she would say "F off"

Enough said
